The Bahraini Parliament passed last Tuesday an amendment to the Political Societies Law, preventing religious preachers from joining political societies, and banning the simultaneous practice of religious and political activism.<\/p>\n
The members of parliament made an amendment to the bill, omitting the word “clerics” and adding the phrase “separating religion from politics.”<\/p>\n
The amendment stipulates that a political society member should not deliver religious sermons and lectures or preach religious matters, even if free of charge, adding that religious and political activism must be separated.<\/p>\n
